New Zealand ordered ten of the SH-2G(I)s, to be flown by Navy pilots with RNZAF No. 6 Squadron at RNZAF Base Auckland/Whenuapai. The unit currently flies five older SH-2G(NZ) versions. All new Seasprites are expected to be delivered by mid-2015.

The Kaman ASW choppers are to be operated from the Royal New Zealand Navy ANZAC class frigates F77 Te Kaha and F111 Te Mana, as well as from the multi-role vessel L421 Canterbury and offshore-patrol vessels of the Protector-class: P148 Otago and P55 Wellington.
